A showcase anthology

Borrowed Hearts: New And Selected Stories showcases the work of Rick DeMarinis, a major, award-winning American literary talent, and the author of six novels and three previous collections of short fiction. Borrowed Hearts is a showcase anthology that includes twenty-one selections from his three previous collections and eleven new stories never before published. Borrowed Hearts is "must" reading for all DeMarinis fans, and will serve as an ideal introduction for those becoming acquainted with his literary skills and story telling expertise for the first time.

Inventive and funny

I'd like to throw in my two cents about Rick DeMarinis: he's a wonderful writer, has been a great influence on me, and many of his best books, sadly, have gone out of print. I highly recommend seeking out the collections many of these stories come from, and the terrific novels "Year of the Zinc Penny" and "The Burning Women of Far Cry." The new stories in here are as mordantly funny as his old stuff.
